Prince Harry set for reunion with Meghan Markle, Archie and Lilibet

Prince Harry remained in Canada until Sunday as the Duke of Sussex attended the closing ceremony.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet did not join their parents in Canada last week and remained in California.

Prince Harry is now set to reunite with his wife and children following the conclusion of the sporting competition.

It comes as Meghan Markle's private jet journey from Vancouver to California could have cost up to £24,000 and produced 6.6 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, made the three-hour flight burning approximately 800 gallons of fuel on Tuesday.

The journey included a mystery stopover in Seattle as she returned from the Invictus Games winter event in Canada.

Harry and Meghan are believed to have used the same £7million aircraft for their outbound journey last week.

The CO2 emissions from the flight weigh the equivalent of a large elephant, despite the couple having previously been recognised as environmental role models.

The private jet can accommodate up to ten passengers and boasts a range exceeding 5,000 miles.

Palace aides confirmed the early return journey was pre-planned, with the Duchess having only intended to stay for five days.

This mirrors her attendance pattern from the 2023 Invictus Games in Germany, where she also stayed for five days.

Despite the significant carbon footprint of the journey, the Duke and Duchess have previously received recognition for their environmental efforts, having been named green "role models" in 2021.
